And sentenced for the highest degree of treason which means life imprisonment or capital punishment.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do the military and police actions of Israel in the aggregate clearly indicate that the Iran War was started as a means for the IDF and Mossad to considerably advance the <em>Greater Israel<\/em> project across the Levant, their never-ending provocations and stealthy manipulation of Trump (via Epsteingate evidence) reveals Israel&#8217;s dastardly plot to both destroy America&#8217;s military throughout the Middle East in order to push the U.S. presence out of the region altogether, but only after Iran has been effectively conquered by US troops ordered into a meat grinder of a war zone.<\/p>\n<p>All of the major military decisions made by President Trump, and this is why this open assessment is being disseminated today, have been disastrous in one way or another for the U.S. Armed Forces, the U.S. Federal Government and the American people.\u00a0 For example, US citizens will never again be able to travel anywhere in the Mideast after so much ill will has been generated by the horribly corrupt and downright sinister Trump administration.\u00a0 What else could be expected when the easily compromised Trump is joined at the hip with genocidal war criminal Netanyahu.\u00a0 For they are both now world infamous for their numerous crimes against humanity as they are notorious well as a nonstop war crimes duo.<\/p>\n<p>As a diverse group of flag officers, general officers and full-bird colonels, we are especially disturbed by the empowerment of the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to make and carry out highly political decisions which have seen the firings, forced resignations and coerced retirements of some of the finest senior officers in the the Armed Services today.\u00a0 Honestly, we are mortified by the disrespectful manner and false justifications given by Hegseth and his henchmen for scornfully terminating these officers who are responsibly rendering truthful and non-biased consultation on major military matters.\u00a0 For instance, just this week the following DOD action was misguidedly carried out after a spate of similar catastrophic personnel changes were forced upon those officers who are America First and NOT Israel First.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\"
